Pupe's home was beautiful and close to public transit. I stayed during the holidays, so most of the shoppes and businesses in the location were closed- but it looked as though it would typically be an interesting and lively neighborhood to stay in.
The air conditioning was strong- even in high humidity. As a pleasant surprise, both bedrooms had air conditioning, even though the listing specified only one did.
Pupe and Oye were very helpful during check in- helping our taxi driver find the apartment over the phone after our GPS sent us to the wrong location.
A few things to note- the apartment is in a very shared space and I would describe it more as private rooms in a shared home than an entire home/apartment for a few reasons:
1) The entrance of the apartment is through a common area
2) The entrance to the apartment listed locks as though it is a separate room and does not have a way to lock from the inside and be opened from the outside (only a concern if you are travelling in a group)
3) There are other apartments across the hall- not providing much privacy as you can see into these apartments from across the hall.
